The data are in!  Unimolecular multiagonists have demonstrated efficacy by concurrent activation of hormone receptors that affect energy homeostasis. Learn how emerging agents offer robust glucose control, with a low risk of hypoglycemia, as well as weight loss. This activity is a compilation of the highlights of satellite symposia originally presented live at ADA’s 82nd Scientific Sessions and ENDO 2022

This CE activity is intended for endocrinologists, diabetologists, and endocrinology fellows, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants engaged in the care of patients with T2D.

  • Plan strategies to address unmet needs, including treatment initiation and escalation, for diverse patient populations with T2D
  • Assess the clinical implications of emerging evidence regarding the incretin effect and the roles of GLP-1 and GIP
  • Relate the pathophysiology of GLP-1 and GIP to potential benefits of agonism of multiple receptors that affect energy homeostasis and the MOA of novel therapies
  • Evaluate and interpret the implications of efficacy and safety data of novel dual agonists for T2D
  • Addressing unmet needs in T2D
  • Delineating the incretin effect and the roles of GLP-1 and GIP
  • Potential benefits of agonism of multiple receptors that affect energy homeostasis

David A. D’Alessio
Professor of Medicine
Chief, Division of Endocrinology and Metabolis m
Duke University School of Medicine
Durham, NC
 
Dr. D’Alessio is a practicing endocrinologist and Director of Duke Endocrinology. His research group studies regulation of insulin secretion by hormonal factors and the abnormalities of islet function in type 2 diabetes. In particular, Dr. D’Alessio has focused on understanding the insulinotropic properties of the hormones glucagon and glucagon-like peptide 1, their role in diabetes and application to therapeutics. D’Alessio and his colleagues do translational work that connects mechanistic studies in animal models to studies of human physiology.  Major contributions from this work includes identifying key brain areas that respond to GLP-1 and control insulin secretion, the role of islet products to control insulin secretion through local actions, and the role of GLP-1 on glucose regulation in patients with bariatric surgery. Beyond his clinical and research activities at Duke, Dr. D’Alessio has been a member of several NIH study sections including a role as chair, a consultant to the NIDDK council, and currently serves as Editor-in-Chief for the journal Diabetes.
